Einer Rubio has achieved his first Grand Tour stage win and has given the Movistar Team its first victory at the 2023 Giro d'Italia. Withstanding countless of attacks of his breakaway companions, Thibaut Pinot and Jefferson Alexander Cepeda, Rubio kept calm.
"Finally a great day, I had been looking for it, I have worked a lot to prepare for this Giro, the other day I had problems with the weather, the rain was very hard, but I knew that I had to continue, that I did not have to give up, thank you God I got it."

The young Colombian climber was intelligent, withstood the attacks of his rivals, did not wear himself out and reached the last kilometre with more strength. Thus, with 300 meters to go, he carried out a brutal attack that left his rivals without options. This was his strategy to win:
"I knew that Pinot was coming very strong and that Cepeda was also coming well, I just had to leave them both and play the strategy a bit and that's how it happened. I came with the thought that I could win and I did it."
